  • Blue indicator of Win 7 circle network ALSO hang Device Manager and MSE does not

    I have a strange problem since the recent windows updates.

    Indicator of network in the bar tasks displays a blue circle for about 20 minutes after I start the computer. During this time I can't run regedit, I can't open the Device Manager, and I can't seem to activate the protection in real time to Microsoft Security databases. However all the time I have internet and network access.
    After about 20 minutes the light will come back normal (sometimes it goes through a Red Cross first), date at which the computer then runs everything normally, if I have my phone on, I get the auto run screen, Device Manager works and I can also start MSE.
    It's as if the computer is waiting for something to happen. Device problem? However, all devices appear to work normally.
    The latest updates, I made were optional for monitor HP and Microsoft mouse and a keyboard, both of which work well in the era of 'blue circle '.
    I also tried updating the adapter software.
    It is not important, but it's annoying!

    Hi Carmen,.

    The blue circle on the network icon indicates that the system is looking for a network connection.

    If it appears at the start, then start the modem and the router before you start the computer.

  • Treo 800w not found in Device Manager and does not connect to ActiveSync

    I just got my Treo 800w and I have ActiveSync it once.  After that, I had a lot of trouble trying to get activesync to say that it was connected to the computer.  After doing some research on Google and help forums looking around, I discovered that the Treo should appear in my device manager when you are connected to the computer.  I went to my device manager and of course, it wasn't there.  After a lot of time trying to make it work, I found that the best thing to do is remove the battery and plug it in again.  Then the computer will find again.

    However, I also learned what was causing my problem and I don't know if it's a windows or a problem of palm, but it is a question.  If you connect a Treo 800w on a WinXP (I don't have Vista so I don't know if this problem exists) and even if you touch it connected the power button on all Windows POPs a message saying a USB device has malfunctioned and will cease to recognize the device.  I then told my wife (the main user of the Treo) to never touch the power button and even less the Treo at all while it is plugged into the computer.

    If this question has already been posted... I'm sorry that I'm not looking for it...

    If you read my entire post it says I already found the solution.  Try all the things you listed didn't work for my problem.  I write only because I believe that it is a bug/problem with palm or windows and the device.  Take the battery, put the battery back in, and reconnect the unit is the only thing that works.

    I also tried to uninstall ActiveSync, reboot, install ActiveSync and the battery... it works too, but it's much faster to just remove the battery then put it back and reconnect the device.

    To answer your other question on ActiveSync Yes, I've got 4.5.

    Message is about: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba L300 which I've downgraded from Vista to months ago WXP. So I decided to stay with Vista and when I installed Vista the WLAN was missing in Device Manager and it didn't work. I tried to download drivers Toshiba download drivers adapters and don't always work. Only my Ethernet is showing in Manager device... btw, I have a Realtek WLAN

    Also, my VGA graphics card didn't seem to update driver and when it does it is said that the system is below minimum specifications.
    It's so weird in Windows XP Home edition, it was working fine... All solutions?

    Does that mean exactly? Have you installed driver WLAN or not? Wireless network adapter correctly installed and listed in device as a card Realtek WLAN Manager?
    How do understand you?

    If the wireless network adapter is installed correctly activate the card with the WLAN switch and then use the FN + F8 key combination and make sure card is set on IT.

    DVD drive icon disappeared from the Device Manager and my computer. I m using window 7. How can I get it back.

    Ashwani Hello,

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

    There are various reasons why a CD or DVD drive may not be detected. I would like to ask all of the steps in the Microsoft Article describes a troubleshooting and check if they help to resolve the issue.

You can save the backup copy to a location that you specify, for example, a folder on your hard drive or a removable storage device. If you make changes that you want to cancel, you can import the backup copy. For more information about backing up the registry, please see the link below.

  • I suddenly have a problem when you try to download I get this message. "Cannot transfer to Internet Download manager." 0x8002801D error

    Error of the IDM

    I suddenly have a problem when you try to download I get this message. "Cannot transfer to Internet Download manager." Error 0x8002801D in windows XP. Pleasw help to y for remedy.
    Thank you

    Hello

    (1) what you're trying to download?

    (2) how you try to download?

    (3) what browser you are using to download?

    (4) don't you make changes to the computer until the problem occurred?

    Step 1: This error occurs when your browser and IDM are set to run under different privileges.

    Maybe you have set to run IDM with administrator rights. This is not correct. IDM Ouvrezledossier if please, right-click on 'IDMan.exe', select the 'Properties' menu item, switch to the "Compatibility" tab and uncheck the checkbox "Run this program as Administrator" (arrow 2 on the image). In addition, you must remove the compatibility with previous versions of Windows if there is none activated (arrow 1 in the picture).

    If this does not help, try to do the same for the executable file of your browser. In addition, turn off the feature with older versions of Windows and "Run this program as Administrator" checkbox.

    Step 2: You may need to run IDM with administrator once rights to register its DLL files. Exit IDM using "Tasks-> output" of the main menu. Then right click on IDM launch icon in the Windows (arrow 1 in picture) programs launch menu and select "Run as Administrator" (arrow 2 on the image).

    Then exit IDM again and run normally.

    Hope this information is useful.
